LaVar Ball had to have his right leg amputated due to complications from diabetes. Initially, he developed an infection in his foot that spread through his bloodstream because he was not attentive to managing his diabetes. This led to multiple surgeries where first a few toes were amputated, then his foot, and finally the leg was amputated just below the knee. He underwent three surgeries and four blood transfusions during this difficult period. Despite the severity of the situation, LaVar Ball has been reported to be in good spirits and recovering well. Recently, he has also shown off his new prosthetic leg and is moving around with it confidently.
